Mykey

Naw, I've heard of Andrew Ridgley. 

ok I've now been and done the walk about thing, and yes you can take photos!

My opinion, and it is just an opinion, is that I really welcome it and as being seen, the people are coming. This is already leading to spin offs for the hotels close by and also other museumy places - the McManus has seen a tremendous upsurge in visitors (they also have a great 'Bash Street Kids' exhibition on but I think it is just about to finish) They also have some great portraits which are as good as many in the Scottish Portrait Gallery.
I like this one:

 
I digress however................................ the V&A is obviously a museum, but as in Londonium it is random. None of this start at 5 century BC and work your way round to the present day.
As an example in the Scottish Design section there is reference to the Paisley Pattern and the influence they brought to the whole design of shawls and materials. However there is also a book on American Ornithology and it tells the story of a Paisley cotton worker who fell out with the system and emigrated to the US and became the "Father of American Ornitholgy" .................... I never knew that! 
However just next to that is the robe worn in a recent Star Wars film, but it too has references to the Paisley Pattern:

 
There are a lot of interesting exhibits , e.g. electronic gaming, the pushing of the envelope in the medical world and many other little curios that might take you by surprise.
The exhibition of Ocean Liners is also random and harks back to a golden (and privileged)  era when a few could swank about as they crossed the Atlantic. It is really good and colourful. Whether you approve of whether the toffs deserved it or not, it was a period of fantastic design. See a few examples below:

It won't tick everyone's box, but from what I see, Dundee is the winner.
 
Oh yes the building is also spectacular:

 

Your original post accused the customer of deliberately provoking the refusal. I was pointing out that you made that up and was not the case. This is confirmed in the judge's statement.

I'm sorry Ricky this is bollox, the customer had used the bakery previously and had thought nothing other than to continue to give them his custom, this is not my opinion nor my interpretation this is me using the judge's summation to call you out for making shit up. One last time - the customer wanted a cake not a court case, once it had happened both interest groups wanted to get their day in court as is their right. The customer didn't provoke anyone. That is now a fact and recognised by the court, if there is an anti-bullshitter pressure group wanting to fund me I'll see you in court too [emoji12]

I apologise Ricky, I don't have a Flat Earth Society dictionary so I made do with the definitions of "fact" and "opinion" that were in the OED.

Jesus Christ, I wish I'd checked the punctuation before I pressed send.

Can I just say to Ricky, oaky, and Callum that provocation was never on the agenda, the bakery won. Their appeal because they were his local bakery that had made several cakes for him before and would make cakes for him again, if asked therefor they could not be refusing to provide a service because of the customer's sexuality. They would have refused to make a cake with this message on it to a straight person. Please don't spin.

Jesus Christ, I wish I'd checked the punctuation before I pressed send.

Remember when we won a national trophy and followed that up with our highest SPL/SPFL position ever?  Remember we had a long run in the top league?  Remember how we celebrated that by getting rid of our most successful manager for decades?   It wasn't that long ago
Apart from the penultimate point, I wish it was THAT same old story.

That will only come out once we see them perform.

If they are shite - Gus
If they are worth £5m or above and can play for AC Milan - Tony
If they are OK - OK.

I thought we lacked any quality in the first half where hibs played right through our midfield, McGinn and Mcpherson were particularly poor, 2nd half was like a completely different team, McGinn, Mcpherson, Flynn & Edwards were all good, and Jamieson showed enough to suggest better things to come. Jackson showed enough to suggest he'll be an asset though I thought the motm award was a bit generous, I would have given that to Jack Baird, just a pity we didn't sneak the draw that our second half showing probably deserved, but a huge improvement on the pre-OK performances and maybe (hopefully) enough to stay up.

FFS, Flareybob get on here with more of your amazingly accurate speculation to get this thread back on topic.

Any one of the 3 league Cup winning goals were excellent, many many goals from the late 70's and early 80's, Becket's, Bone's and Mallan's goals of the season. I have a great memory of a brilliant Jim Blair solo goal against thistle but I was youngish and there's no recording so that one may have improved in my memory over the years

All episodes are available on iplayer, we binged them over the week, it was an excellent series.

Twice our highest league position for a generation and a national trophy, makes you wonder why DL Isn't our technical director

Your mind needs some maintenance. The very next manager took us to higher positions and actually managed to win the League cup while facing ELEVEN men.

Chris Brookmyre, John Byrne, Douglas Henshall, David Currie, Dougie Vipond, & Sir Thommo of hawk would certainly be an entertaining rota for hospitality, especially the first two.

I agree, but if I didn't laugh I'd cry. I lurked on this forum for a bit, but I only joined to voice my opinion that wee anxious had to go, they eventually sacked him on my birthday, the best present I got. For him to come back in any capacity beyond cleaner is making me queesy, but I can't afford to run the club so what will be will be. Hopefully he's not allowed anywhere near the team and OK's smfc's revival continues.

To be fair, they weren't in the lower half of league 2 until wee anxious took charge.

A constant presence, according to the club statement... Like a turd that won't flush...

We are replacing him. One incompetent for another.
